Michelle Cohen NegriLCSW

Michelle Cohen Negri is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports clients facing parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles, and issues connected to pregnancy and childbirth. Michelle writes in a direct, practical way and aims to make therapy feel manageable for busy lives.

Michelle uses plain, goal-focused work in sessions. She draws on strategies from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to teach emotional regulation skills and clearer ways to communicate. Sessions often include short, practical exercises and steps you can try between meetings.

Her background as a former professional athlete shapes how she frames resilience and discipline. That experience informs how she supports people through grief, loss, and the uncertainty that can follow major life changes. Michelle emphasizes building small, doable habits that add up to real change.

She describes her style as warm, compassionate, and collaborative. Clients and therapists together identify what is helping, what is getting in the way, and realistic next steps. The focus is on values-driven goals rather than long lists of techniques.

Michelle is based in Florida and works in English. She holds the LCSW credential, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Her practice is oriented toward practical progress and steady coping skills.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Michelle uses well-established therapeutic techniques to help people manage intense emotions and make concrete changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking; it is useful for anxiety, mood struggles, and body image concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce reactivity and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Michelle will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods based on what is working and what feels manageable for the client.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and between-session practices so they translate well to remote meetings, helping people keep progress moving forward without adding extra strain.
